Notes from the floor.
I was working at Outdoor Image today. One of the stores owned by the company I worked for. It was terribly boring, so I couldn't help but write (and write). Here are my notes.-------------
Its easy to frame answers to questions in terms of ideologies instead of action.
Faith and ideologies are not the same. You can not move mountains with ideologies.
It is all well and good to define ones ideologies. But once that is done, much sooner than never, one must turn them into action.
There is a wide gap between wandering and traveling, just as there is an equally wide chasm between the wanderer and the traveler. One has a destination and a time frame. The biggest difference is motive. The other, is the presence of a watch.
Some wanderers never stop, like John Muir. Others need periods of doubt doing odd jobs like construction and cleaning dishes to reaffirm their faith.
The passion to write should not be ignored like any other passion. To do so is to shirk off an obvious calling from the divine.
Sometimes I get an urgent, almost frantic fear that unless I write my thoughts down, they will be lost forever. That obsession has led me to write that very thought down.
Being loud/boisterous and being confident are often the same. It takes confidence form most of us to speak up. There is a line of annoyance one must be careful not to cross. Ones intention mostly determines the passage of that line.
